We report measurements of the branching fractions of singly Cabibbo-suppressed decays $Lambda_c^+ to p eta$ and $Lambda_c^+ to p pi^0$ using the full Belle data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 980.6 $rm fb^{-1}$. The data were collected by the Belle detector at the KEKB $e^{+}$$e^{-}$ asymmetric-energy collider. A clear $Lambda_c^+$ signal is seen in the invariant mass distribution of $p eta$. The signal yield of the $Lambda_c^+ to p eta$ process is $7734 pm 263$; from this, we measure the ratio of branching fractions ${cal B}(Lambda_c^+ to p eta)/{cal B}(Lambda_c^+ to p K^- pi^+) = (2.258 pm 0. 077(rm stat. ) pm 0.136(rm syst. ))times 10^{-2}$, from which we infer the branching fraction ${cal B}(Lambda_c^+ to p eta) = (1.42 pm 0.05(rm stat.) pm 0.11(rm syst.)) times 10^{-3}$. In addition, no significant signal for $Lambda_c^+ to p pi^0$ is found so an upper limit on the branching fraction of ${cal B}(Lambda_c^+ to p pi^0)<8.0 times 10^{-5}$ at 90% credibility level is set, more than three times better than the best current upper limit.

We have searched for the Cabibbo-suppressed decay $Lambda_c^+tophi ppi^0$ in $e^+e^-$ collisions using a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 915 $rm fb^{-1}$. The data were collected by the Belle experiment at the KEKB $e^+e^-$ asymmetric-energy collider running at or near the $Upsilon(4S)$ and $Upsilon(5S)$ resonances. No significant signal is observed, and we set an upper limit on the branching fraction of $mathcal{B}(Lambda_c^+to phi ppi^0) <15.3times10^{-5}$ at 90% confidence level. The contribution for nonresonant $Lambda_c^+to K^+K^- ppi^0$ decays is found to be consistent with zero and the corresponding upper limit on its branching fraction is set to be $mathcal{B}(Lambda_c^+to K^+K^-ppi^0)_{rm NR} <6.3times10^{-5} $ at 90% confidence level. We also measure the branching fraction for the Cabibbo-favored decay $Lambda_c^+to K^-pi^+ppi^0$; the result is $mathcal{B}(Lambda_c^+to K^-pi^+ppi^0)= (4.42pm0.05, (rm stat.) pm 0.12, (rm syst.) pm 0.16, (mathcal{B}_{rm Norm}))%$, which is the most precise measurement to date. Finally, we have searched for an intermediate hidden-strangeness pentaquark decay $P^+_stophi p$. We see no evidence for this intermediate decay and set an upper limit on the product branching fraction of ${cal B}(Lambda_c^+to P^+_s pi^0)times {cal B}(P^+_stophi p) <8.3times 10^{-5}$ at 90% confidence level.
Using 980.6 $rm fb^{-1}$ of data collected with the Belle detector operating at the KEKB asymmetric-energy $e^+e^-$ collider, we present a measurement of the branching fraction of the singly Cabibbo-suppressed decay $Lambda_c^+ to p omega$. A clear $Lambda_c^+$ signal is observed for $Lambda_c^+ to p omega$ with a statistical significance of 9.1 standard deviations, and we measure the ratio of branching fractions ${cal B}(Lambda_c^+ to p omega)/{cal B}(Lambda_c^+ to p K^- pi^+) = (1.32 pm 0.12 (rm stat) pm 0.10 (rm syst))times 10^{-2}$, from which we infer the branching fraction ${cal B}(Lambda_c^+ to p omega) = (8.27 pm 0.75 (rm stat) pm 0.62 (rm syst) pm 0.42 (rm ref))times 10^{-4}$. The first quoted uncertainty is statistical, the second systematic, and the third from the reference mode $Lambda_c^+ to p K^- pi^+$.
The decay $Lambda_b^0 to Lambda_c^+ p overline{p} pi^-$ is observed using $pp$ collision data collected with the LHCb detector at centre-of-mass energies of $sqrt{s}=$ 7 and 8 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3 $fb^{-1}$. The ratio of branching fractions between $Lambda_b^0 to Lambda_c^+ p overline{p} pi^-$ and $Lambda_b^0 to Lambda_c^+ pi^-$ decays is measured to be begin{equation*} frac{mathcal{B}(Lambda_b^0 to Lambda_c^+ p overline{p}pi^-)}{mathcal{B}(Lambda_b^0 to Lambda_c^+ pi^-)} = 0.0540 pm 0.0023 pm 0.0032. end{equation*} Two resonant structures are observed in the $ Lambda_c^+ pi^-$ mass spectrum of the ${Lambda_b^0 to Lambda_c^+ poverline{p} pi^-}$ decays, corresponding to the $Sigma_c(2455)^0$ and $Sigma_c^{*}(2520)^0$ states. The ratios of branching fractions with respect to the decay $Lambda_b^0 to Lambda_c^+ p overline{p} pi^-$ are begin{align*} frac{mathcal{B}(Lambda_b^0 to Sigma_c^0 poverline{p})timesmathcal{B}(Sigma_c^0to Lambda_c^+ pi^-)}{mathcal{B}(Lambda_b^0 to Lambda_c^+ p overline{p}pi^-)} = 0.089pm0.015pm0.006, frac{mathcal{B}(Lambda_b^0 to Sigma_c^{*0} poverline{p})timesmathcal{B}(Sigma_c^{*0}to Lambda_c^+ pi^-)}{mathcal{B}(Lambda_b^0 to Lambda_c^+ p overline{p}pi^-)} = 0.119pm0.020pm0.014. end{align*} In all of the above results, the first uncertainty is statistical and the second is systematic. The phase space is also examined for the presence of dibaryon resonances. No evidence for such resonances is found.
Based on 586 $rm{pb^{-1}}$ of $e^+e^-$ annihilation data collected at a center-of-mass energy of $sqrt{s}=4.6~rm{GeV}$ with the BESIII detector at the BEPCII collider, the absolute branching fraction of $Lambda_c^+ to p K^0_{mathrm{S}}eta$ decays is measured for the first time to be $mathcal{B}(Lambda_c^+ to p K^0_{mathrm{S}}eta) = (0.414 pm 0.084 pm 0.028)%$, where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second is systematic. The result is compatible with a previous CLEO result on the relative branching fraction $frac{mathcal{B}(Lambda_c^+ to p K^0_{mathrm{S}}eta)}{mathcal{B}(Lambda_c^+ to p K^-pi^+)}$, and consistent with theoretical predictions of SU(3) flavor symmetry.
We present the first model-independent measurement of the absolute branching fraction of the Lambda_c+ -> p K- pi+ decay using a data sample of 978 fb^-1 collected with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy e+e- collider. The number of Lambda_c+ baryons is determined by reconstructing the recoiling D(*)- anti-p pi+ system in events of the type e+e- -> D(*)- anti-p pi+ Lambda_c+. The branching fraction is measured to be Br(Lambda_c+ -> p K- pi+) = (6.84 +- 0.24^{+0.21}_{-0.27})%, where the first and second uncertainties are statistical and systematic, respectively.
